BOTTLE.

srncrsIoATIoN forming part of Letters Application mea october 7, 1895.

.To all whom it may concern.-

Beit known that we, GEORGE WALDRON BLAKE and JOHN BROWN PRICE, citizens of the United States, and residents of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Bottles, of which the following is a specification, reference being had tov the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

This invention relates to bottles, jugs, jars, or other vessels of this class, and the object thereof is tov produce a vessel of this class which, having been once sealed, cannot be emptied of its contents without destroying the vessel or leaving evidence of the fact that the same has once been used.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the accompanying drawings form a part, in which- Figure l represents a central vertical section of the upper part of a bottle and the neck thereof provided with my improvement; and Figs. 2, 3, and 1.1. represent details of the construction, Fig. 2 being a section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 3.

In the accompanying drawings we have shown our invention applied to a bottle, and in the practice of our invention we provide a bottle A, having a neck B, the upper end of which is preferably enlarged or thickened, as shown at h, and secured therein is a tubular attachment C, having an annular flange D at the top-thereof, and secured to or formed on said annular flange is a cap or cover E, provided with a dovmwardly-depending rim F, by means of which an annular chamber G is formed between the cap or cover E andthe annular Iiange D. Y

Fig. 3 is a bottomplan view of the tubular attachment U, and on fan examination of this gure it will be seen that the flange Dis provided 'at opposite sides with segmental ports or openings H, and the section shown in Fig. l is4 arranged so as to cnt through these ports or openings H. v

In this class of' devices the bottle or other vessel must first be filled before the neck attachment is applied, andthe' bottle Ahaving nular ring or packing K isplaced over the :Patent No. 557,644, dated April 7, 1896.

end of the neck or nozzle of the bottle, as clearly shown in Fig. 1, and said annular ring or packing K is preferably composed of cprk, though it may bev composed of any preferred material. The tubular attachment C is then secured in place by any desired means, preferably by cement, placed thereon in a plastic condition, which, when the tubular attachment isinserted and forced into the vessel,

will set and prevent the removal thereof, and

l the connection between the annular angeD and the cork ring K is such as to make the vessel tight even if. the connection between the attachment C and the neck thereof were such as to perfectly seal the bottle.

When it is desired to empty the bottle, the cork ring or packing K is cut out adjacent to and below the segmental openings H and the contents of the bottle may be discharged through said opening and beneath the flange D, as will be readily understood.

The tubular attachment C, provided with' the cap or cover Efcannot be removed without breaking the bottleor'thevneck thereof,

and the removal of the packingringK\will be'evidence of the fact that the bottle has 'been once used, and it will thus be seen that' we accomplish the object of our invention bymeans of a device which is simple in construction and operation and comparatively inexpensive.

Our invention is not limited to the exact form, construction, and arrangement of parts shown and described, and we therefore reserve the right to make all such alterations therein and modifications thereof as fairly come within the scope of our invention.

f Having fully described our invention, we

claim and desire to secure by LettersPatent l. The combination with the neck of a bottle, of a tubular attachment adapted to iit and be secured within the neck, said attachment having an annular ilange at the top thereof in connection with which is formed a cap or cover provided with a downwardly-depend@ g rim, said'annular ange being provided with ports or openings, and a packing-ring of cork or other material between the said ange and .the neck or nozzle of the bottle, substantially as shown and described.

2. A device for closing the neck of a bottle,

ICO

and connected therewith on the periphery thereof, and an annular packing-ring of cork adapted to be used in connection with said attachment, substantially as described.

In testimony that We claim the foregoing as our invention We have signed onrnames, in

presence of the subscribingwitnesses, this 4th 2o day of October, 1895.
